PROFILE
Michal Paszkowski
Worked extensively on the intel/intel-graphics-compiler, delivering features and fixes that enhanced graphics compilation, memory management, and cross-version LLVM compatibility. Focused on robust support for OpenCL and SPIR-V, this developer implemented opaque pointer enablement, optimized code generation to reduce register pressure, and migrated legacy passes to the LLVM New Pass Manager. They addressed complex issues in IR transformation, type safety, and test automation, ensuring stable builds across LLVM 16 through 22. Using C++, LLVM, and CMake, they refactored core compiler components, improved test coverage, and streamlined build systems, resulting in a more reliable, maintainable, and future-ready graphics toolchain.

Feb 1, 2026February 2026: Focused on delivering robust opaque pointer support and ensuring build stability with LLVM 17. Key features delivered include default enabling of opaque pointers for LLVM 16+ with code generation optimizations to reduce register spilling and streamline pointer conversions, enhancing type safety and graphics compilation performance. Major bugs fixed include LLVM 17 compatibility and buildability issues, header updates, alias analysis wrapper adjustments, and test adaptations to align with opaque pointers. Additionally, tests using typed pointers were marked as unsupported on LLVM 17+ to preserve CI reliability. Impact: improved performance and type safety in graphics compilation, more stable cross-LLVM builds, and reduced maintenance overhead. Technologies/skills demonstrated: LLVM integration (16/17), opaque pointers enablement, code generation optimization, build system configuration, test strategy, and cross-version compatibility.

Delivered inline casting builtins for OpenCL/SPIR-V under LLVM 16/17 and stabilized the BiF module by removing deprecated __builtin_astype usage and generating cast_object_to_generic_ptr bodies inline. Introduced Legacy Pass Manager compatibility wrappers for the LoopIdiomRecognize and LoopDeletion passes to leverage New PM optimizations while maintaining Legacy PM workflows; reverted the ADCE wrapper to the standard DCE for simplicity. Implemented SPIR-V/LLVM-Translator ConvertPtrToU workaround to handle opaque pointers safely and improved BTI argument rewriting, reducing crashes and call-graph inconsistencies. Added type-mismatch detection for SOA promotion when multi-byte elements are accessed via i8 GEPs to ensure correct memcpy loop generation. Enhanced SPIR-V image handling and inlining for non-kernel image args by introducing metadata hints, improved ValueTracker accuracy for image kernel arguments, refined GEP handling and function attribute propagation for always-inline, and updated tests to cover new inlining/image metas. These changes collectively improve reliability, performance, and cross-version compatibility with tangible business value in stability, build reliability, and runtime efficiency.

Mar 1, 2025March 2025: Focused on correctness and stability in the graphics compiler. Implemented two high-impact bug fixes in intel/intel-graphics-compiler: (1) OpenCL kernel code generation: correct ByVal argument type resolution to ensure accurate type handling and argument passing; (2) LLVM SimplifyConstant pass: proper handling of opaque pointer types via a bitcast after select to maintain type validity when replacing GEP+load with select values. These changes reduce mis-compilations and runtime failures in OpenCL kernels and improve type consistency in pointer handling. No user-facing features delivered this month; the work directly strengthens reliability and downstream performance.
